Mrs. Liu frowned unhappily upon hearing this. "Doctor Su, one must not forget one's roots. I even introduced my cousin to you back then, and I was so kind to you. Now I just asked you for a small favor, and you're so reluctant. Do you look down on us old neighbors just because you're rich?"
"Mrs. Liu, what are you talking about? Is Jin Yue that kind of person?" Wang Meizhen's face also turned stern. Jin Yue was her daughter-in-law, so of course she stood on Jin Yue's side.
"You are not that kind of person. How come you are unwilling to help with such a small matter?" Mrs. Liu said with a disdainful curl of her lips.
"Who are you to me that I need to help you?" Su Jinyue sneered. She and her didn't seem to be related at all, so what obligation did she have to help her?
Mrs. Liu was speechless. She and Su Jinyue had no other relationship except that they were from the same village. "But we are from the same village after all. We have been together for so long, so there must be some friendship. Besides, my cousin working in your store is not like she is not doing any work."
"It's a favor for me to help you, and it's my duty if I don't want to help you." Su Jinyue was too lazy to argue with Mrs. Liu, so she turned and went into the house.
"Look at her, I'm not wrong, she's a heartless person." Mrs. Liu pointed at Su Jinyue angrily. The most important thing is, she has already promised her cousin, how should she explain it to her cousin now?
Wang Meizhen sighed helplessly in her heart, "Jin Yue is not wrong. Besides, the person in her store is doing well. You can't ask him to leave, right? Besides, the store is not owned by Jin Yue alone." It was all her fault for being so quick to speak and say this matter out. Otherwise, the villagers would not know that Jin Yue opened a store.
"How can it be the same? Doctor Su and I are from Murakami, so we are family. Wouldn't it be better for my cousin to help run the store? Could it be that my cousin is worse than an outsider who has no relationship with me?" Mrs. Liu became more and more angry as she spoke.
"Mrs. Liu, let's talk about this later when we have the chance. Jinyue Store might be short of staff by then," Wang Meizhen said. This was all she could say now.
"I don't want it anymore." Mrs. Liu snorted and walked out.
Before she even reached home, Mrs. Liu saw from afar a women's Phoenix bicycle parked outside her house. It was her cousin, and she must have come to ask about work.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Liu turned and left. She planned to come back after her cousin left.
"Cousin, where are you going?" Wang Qingqing's voice came from behind.
Mrs. Liu stopped abruptly. She turned around with a dry laugh and asked, "Qingqing, when did you come?"
"I've been here a while, and the soldier said you were out. Cousin, have you asked about my affairs?" Wang Qingqing asked. She had heard from her classmates that the capital not only had a high standard of living, but also had many wealthy men. If she could marry a wealthy man, she would be able to buy whatever she wanted.
"Doctor Su is a bit busy right now. I'll ask later," Mrs. Liu said perfunctorily with a smile. She didn't dare tell her cousin that Su Jinyue didn't want her to work in her shop. If her cousin got angry, it would be difficult for her to get benefits from her cousin's family in the future.
The reason her family lived better than others was mainly because of her cousin's family. Her cousin's husband was a small cadre at the woolen mill. Every New Year and other festivals, the mill would distribute fish, meat, fruit, and other things. Her cousin would always think of her and ask her cousin to send some to her. Because of this, she was particularly concerned about her cousin's affairs.
This time, she went to visit her cousin's family and heard her cousin say that she was going to Beijing. She thought of Su Jinyue and said that with her friendship with Su Jinyue, she would definitely get Su Jinyue to agree to let her cousin work in her store. But now Su Jinyue refused, and she really didn't know how to tell her cousin about this.
Wang Qingqing thought for a moment and said, "Cousin, I have some free time today anyway. Why don't I go with you to see Dr. Su? It can be considered an interview as well."
Mrs. Liu was panicked. "I just went there. Doctor Su is busy now. Let's wait until she's done."
"Let's go and take a look together. Maybe they have finished their work." Wang Qingqing reached out and took Mrs. Liu's hand, pulling her forward.
Mrs. Liu was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on her back. She absolutely couldn't let her cousin go find Su Jinyue, "Ouch!"
"What's wrong?" Wang Qingqing stopped in surprise.
"My stomach hurts. I need to go to the bathroom. I can't hold it anymore." As she said that, she broke free from Wang Qingqing's hand and rushed home holding her stomach.
"Cousin." Wang Qingqing frowned as she watched Mrs. Liu hurried in. Lazy people are really lazy.
Wang Qingqing looked at the time and sighed helplessly before turning around and continuing to walk forward. She had met Su Jinyue before, so she decided to go talk to her in person.
Mrs. Liu squatted in the toilet for a long time, but Wang Qingqing didn't come to call her. She shouted outside, "Qingqing! Qingqing!"
After calling several times but no one responded, Mrs. Liu thought that Wang Qingqing couldn't wait to go home first. Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, her son Xiaobing's voice came from outside, "Mom, Auntie is not here. She went to play in the village." He had just come back from outside when he met his aunt on the road. His aunt asked him where the clinic was.
"What?" Mrs. Liu hurried out of the bathroom. "Did you see where she went?"
"Going to the clinic." said the soldier.
"It's over." Mrs. Liu hurried outside. She hoped her cousin wouldn't go to the Zhan family, otherwise her lie would be exposed.
Wang Qingqing asked for a letter all the way to the Zhan family and knocked on the door. "Is anyone home?"
Wang Meizhen was chatting with Su Jinyue in the room when she heard a knock on the door. "Who is it again?" She stood up and was about to go out to open the door.
"I'll go." Su Jinyue stood up and walked outside.
Wang Qingqing saw someone opening the door through the crack and stopped knocking.
When Su Jinyue opened the door and saw Wang Qingqing, she immediately recognized her as Mrs. Liu's cousin.
"Are you Dr. Su? I'm Mrs. Liu's cousin." Wang Qingqing said with a smile.
"If you're here for work, sorry, I can't help you." Su Jinyue said bluntly.
"How do you know why I came to see you? Did my cousin tell you?" Wang Qingqing asked.
Su Jinyue nodded and said clearly: "I refused." It seems that Mrs. Liu has not told Wang Qingqing about this yet.
Mrs. Liu saw Wang Qingqing and Su Jinyue standing at the entrance of the Zhan family talking from afar, and her heart sank. This is over!
